The Clearwater Library Board met on October 25. 1968.
Present were members:
TIle chairman made welcome the new members:
Donald Macdonald, Elizabeth Hasbrouck, Johnnie Mae Moore and Pred Korosy.
The board were pleased to have Mrs. Rudolph Henning and ~frs. Thomas Hagler
present.
Minutes from the last meeting were read and approved.
Results of the non-resident library fee being raised were ,apparent even at this
early date and there have been many refusals to renew library cards because of
the boost from $2.00 to $10.00. Mr. Stierheim has asked the city commissioners
to reconsider their decision.
There have been fewer new registrations and also arising is a question of space
because patrons are using material right in the library instead of taking it out.
Again there was a discussion of the increasing population especially in the east
of the city. This points 'up a need for enlargement and expansion there.
Miss Byers distributed and explained in detail the statistical reports to the
new members and visitors. The chairman told how the board was set up to receive
and disburse money.
There are two new girls employed in the main library and one at the east branch.
This fills the quota at present.
Mr. Killeffer introduced the subject of material being taken from the beach li-
brary, especially the work of one author whose books consistantly disappear.

This happens with other books too. There is no insurance to cover this kind
of loss and so arises what policy to use on replacing s~olen books, especially
the most popular issues.
A motion was made by Mr. Williams to use fifty dollars ($50) for replacement
of lost material and to keep the new off of the open shelves of the Wickman
Collection. This motion was seconded by Mrs. Filewicz.
Book Week is from November third to November tenth.
Mr. Williams made a motion to be presented to the city manager and city commis-
sioners. This motion to the effect that five ($5.00) dollars would be a proper
fee for the non-resident library card and that the board strongly recommends
their reconisderation in regard to this decision.
Mr. Killeffer seconded the ~otion. There was one objection.
Mr. Williams expressed his thoughts concerning a school in the direct east
section of the city. He stated that he feels there is need for school and li-
brary to coordinate their facilities, making a combined investment plus a program
of tip top services for the same number of dollars.
The meeting adj ourned at 3: 2S. Next regular meeting would be November 15.
